The grumpy thread

[Rover414]

Wankers on the motorway. If I'm doing 70 down the motorway is it really necessary to tailgate, flash your lights then blast around and nearly crash into the front of my car as you cut back in to the lane? Three successive weeks on the M6 where wankerish attitudes like this have been in force.

[Wilko220]

It does sound unnecessarily aggressive - but, then again, by keeping left like wot the Highway Code says, I suppose you would deprive them of the opportunity to do it...

[Rover414]

Doesn't even matter what lane you're in for some of these tools. Or weather a queue is ahead (like today) which really is annoying.

1986 for The Bangles? Can it really be that long? 

 

The girlie guitarist on the far right is cuuuuute! I miss the 80's.

 

I had a tool in a newish Audi drive right up my arse the other night, Flash, flash (which I ignored) , he swerved round me and vanished into the distance..... only to get caught a the red light at the end of the dual carriageway which we were on at the time. He got stuck behind three cars as I just rolled past him in the filter lane. I laughed. It's the little things that keep me amused.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the default setting for waaaaaaaaay too many people these days.  I've met it a few times lately.  What's wrong with just getting along?

 

I must be on the wrong planet.

does it work with banger racers spouting shite ?

 

 

No, because precious few people were actually quiet on 'that' thread.

I jumped in the Samba from all night driving an 08 plate Fiesta and promptly understeered almost off a wet roundabout. 135 profile tyres - WIN.

Shit. No more whiskey.

The folk who buy my old cars. Almost all my old Cortinas have ended up wrecked by subsequent keepers.

 

My old yellow GXL was in superb condition when sold three or four years ago.. The guy that bought it slammed it YO! Then decided he was going to heavily mod the floor.

 

He cut all the floor pans out then got bored and let it rot in a muddy field with the result that its now utterly shagged.

 

Bought by a guy in Dunfermline after that who took the good bits including the full lights and grille and interior then sold the rest on to a guy in Ireland who has pinched more from it then emailed me asking if I'd like to buy what left back for £1500 plus shipping it over here again to "save it"

 

I'll pass.

 

Not his fault, just a string of bad luck for the car but frustrating when you put a lot of time and money into something. Once you've sold it though its not your call.

Passive aggression is the most satisfying form of aggression.

Oh yeah? You think so?

i was talking about a more recent thread

[ShiteRider]

Washing machine has just died. I've three cars that want taxing next week and one that needs MOT and insurance as well.

Currently have neither a pot to piss in, nor a window to chuck it out of....

Photobucket. What a useless steaming pile of shite. I hadn't used it for a while, but it really is completely unusable now. Nothing seems to work on it at all! Any decent alternatives for just uploading shit to forums?

Photobucket has always been a mess and responsible for about 95% of the "I CAN SEND PICS IN EMAIL" adverts.

 

You don't even need an imgur account, just drag and drop and it uploads and spits out a URL. Unlimited bandwidth and totally free. Managing albums is a bit clunky but still shitloads better than boatohfuckit.

I'm using Imgur at the moment.

Potatobucket will only seem to post thumbnails and they are all the wrong size.  Unless it's just me, quite likely that.

Thanks chaps!

[myglaren]

Sorry Cobblers, didn't see your reply, must have been on the 'net page' which I hadn't realised was there.

If you know this twat above please P.M his address to me thanks!

 

And if you happen to read this you cunt, let's see how aggressive you get when it's a bloke you're dealing with instead of trying to run women off the road!

 

P.S. please feel free to post this pic on other sites as "twat of the month"

Wouldn't it be more sensible/legal to speak to the police over this ?

Normally yes it would be, but seeing as a police car sat at the kerb watching the whole incident and did nothing then you mete out your own justice.

Rail engineering works.

Manchester to south London: National Rail Enquiries show that there's engineering works so no trains are running to where I'm going from London. Okay, I think, I'll avoid London Victoria and go to the other station via London Bridge. So, get to Euston - Tube's closed, go the long way round. Do this and get to London Bridge - Shard related refurbishment means only fast trains are stopping. Aside from the place looking modern and awful, I now have to go the long way round AGAIN to get where I'm going - this time a train and a fifteen minute wait for a twenty minute tram ride.

All that, with a wheely suitcase, another suitcase on my shoulder, and having to wait for/put up with my middle-aged, possibly OCD, paranoid mother with back problems, who won't carry any of the bags, or walk at a reasonable speed. On her period.

The whole thing took six and a half hours, if I was alone it'd be done in 4.

[SambaS]

I hate that horrible little c*nt that lives downstairs with every ounce of flesh in my body.

 

I wish I could afford to take my landlord to court over the problems I've had with them failing to do anything over the years.

 

I wish nothing less than to tie him to a [text removed] on fire, but like the Rolling Stones say: you can't always get what you want.

[Cavcraft]

You can if you pay enough money.

More a twat as he has a light out. What exactly happened?

[SambaS]

• I hate the person downstairs, and I'm totally justified in doing so.

 

He committed benefit fraud for 7 months by claiming housing benefit on the empty property while he lived elsewhere.

 

The electricity consumption will have been minimal 7 months and when he moved back 3 weeks ago will have spiked.

 

He is now living back there and the noise, and even sometimes the mere fact he is there is really pissing me off. I'm often kept awake.

 

It goes against my usual conduct, but I really want to inform the benefit fraud people.

 

He knows not to keep me awake, we've been in dispute for over this for 2 years, he deserves no more chances with anyone but my land lord isn't interested.

 

What should I do?

[RedSparrow]

You can report people anonymously for benefit fraud now. Just do it.

[SambaS]

Probably futile, the family will come up with an elaborate story to explain no doubt, he's a compulsive weirdo some of the stories he's come up with for attention that later turned out to be BS... dieing of cancer...... maybe has aids.... has got a girl pregnant..... met a guy online and was raped, was sold for sex by his family when he was 13.... Fucking freak.

 

Just to cover my back:

Phone up Old Bill with his reg number, tell them you've seen him driving in an erratic fashion, and that one of his headlights isn't working. Also tell them that you noticed him sitting in traffic snorting something off the back of his hand............
